Katja moved from Mexico to The Woodlands in 2010 and received her Real Estate license 4 years later. She moved to Tomball in December 2018 and joined the Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Gary Greene in January, 2020. She holds a special interest in the Residential real estate market in North Houston and surrounding areas. Katja is also fluent in German and Spanish, from her time spent living in Germany and Mexico, which has been a great tool in her career. She has lived in different countries and cities throughout her life and feels that it has made it easy to identify with clients from all different backgrounds. Katja learned to adapt and to listen to different personalities, which helped her to be open to understanding the different needs of real estate clients. She joined the Houston real estate market in 2014 because moving around had helped her understand how hard and emotional it is to list your home for sale and move to new places. She has a background in Engineering that has given her the skill to be very organized. Her clients love her calm personality and strong negotiation skills. Katja and her husband have three kids. After serving an 18-month-long mission their oldest is now studying at Brigham Young University. Their middle son is has worked as software developer and is serving a mission in the Washington DC area, and her youngest son is a senior in Tomball High School. Her husband has worked in construction as an inspector, warranty specialist, in the pool business, and as a home-builder. A lot of her free time is spent volunteering at her kid's school and church. Katja loves her Real Estate career because it gives her an opportunity to keep learning every day, and the chance to meet new people, as well as helping her clients to fulfill their dream and preparing for new opportunities and adventures. She is grateful to say that many times a friendship has developed with clients, and they have stayed closely connected after closing.

"Always do the right thing.....it's called integrity." According to Realtor and The Woodlands resident, Leslie Hitt, that was the best piece of career advice she ever received. "I care about each and every one of my clients, and I always put them first."

Leslie began her real estate career in 2002 after 14 years as a legal assistant, an important work experience that taught her the value of listening and paying careful attention to detail. She focuses her sales on neighborhoods in and around her home base, including all of The Woodlands, Montgomery Trace, Woodforest, Katy, Conroe, and Spring.

"I listen intently to what my clients tell me about their needs and wants," Leslie says. "Understanding their goals allows me to formulate and implement a game plan for their success - whether they are first-time buyers or seller or experienced in the process. I empathize with my clients during their moves, especially if it's a particularly challenging transition, and work hard to guide them through it with a minimum of stress."

Leslie believes that along with customer service and market knowledge, industry education is paramount. She holds important professional certifications and designations that include the ABR (Accredited Buyers Representative), GRI (Graduate Realtors Institute), CRS (Certified Relocation Specialist), Certified New Home Specialist (CNHS), and membership in the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing (ILHM).

Originally from Ponca City, Oklahoma, Leslie has lived in The Woodlands since 1999 and has volunteered regularly for the local chapter of the American Heart Association. She and her husband have an adult daughter and enjoy spending time with family and friends as well as antique shopping.

As they say, all start in the family, all is learned in the family. Being daughter of a builder/developer, my childhood memories are all about buildings, floor plans, construction materials, clients and deals.

And that is what I learned in the family and that is how I became a realtor. My formal education followed a path from Political Sciences to International Relations (BA) and then to Public Policy (MA). Early in my professional career, I got into marketing construction materials in international markets. I worked with clients across the world ranging from Taiwan to USA/CANADA, South Africa to Russia, Middle East to Mediterranean countries to Europe. In the meantime, my fortunes took me around. I lived in Sherborne, Oxford, Essex for a short time. I was in New York a couple of years. I enjoyed Iowa more than 20 years and Iowa is where I started real estate. I am a resident of Houston area since 2008 and practicing in The Woodlands, Klein, Spring, Conroe and the surrounding areas.

In this line of work, nothing beats seeing the happiness of the clients in buying their dream homes or selling their major investment in smooth transaction and knowing that I had a role in it. As a full time real estate agent with more than 10 years of experience, I came to know that this is what counts at the end. And what is the most important is: Real Estate with Happy Smiles !
